Bridgestone Potenza RE12D

Last year i run Dunlop Z3 on local time attack event with my Rx8 had pretty good result
And the rule say 12D is legal too
I will test 12D out same day with z3 on first event 2/23

From Japanese magazine testing and some real life track data
RE12D is faster by aleast sec compare to Re71R and faster then A050 & A052 on average

It also get unique design with should slam down, i think they made this opposite then hoosier to get better feed back from tire


Will mount 265/35/18 on 18 x10.5j et35

Maybe you should have used 295/30 instead?

I tried looking and it looks like this tire is only available in Japan.

Is it under a different name in North America? You know, like Bridgestone RE003 and Firestone Firehawk Indy 500?

Either that or it’s still just too new. They don’t export everything available here though.
